Trading Quests,[1] also known as Trading Sequences,[2] are recurring sidequests in The Legend of Zelda series.
Overview
By trading a long list of items, the player will eventually be rewarded with a useful item such as a better sword, new tools or even numerous Pieces of Heart. However, due to their status as sidequests, they are not necessary to complete the game, except in the case of Link's Awakening, where several items, including the final reward, are mandatory.
As Link tries to help a character, he may receive an item that becomes useful for someone else; when Link gives the newer item to the right character, he receives in turn another item that is destined to yet another character; a trade sequence takes form when this process is repeated continuously, thus resulting into a long string of exchanges that ultimately lead to a powerful item. For natural reasons, the traded items generally have one-time uses, and therefore one-time appearances.
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, the Trading Quest begins by obtaining the Yoshi Doll from the Trendy Game in Mabe Village. It eventually ends with Link obtaining the Magnifying Lens that allows him to read the Book Dark Secrets and Mysteries of Koholint inside the Village Library which tells him the directions to navigate the Egg Maze.

Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, the Trading Quest can only be completed by adult Link. For doing so, he receives the Biggoron's Sword, a powerful two-handed blade. Template:Trading Quest
Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, there are Business Scrubs desiring to move to new places, yet they are unable to do so because they need documents of property from their destinations. In exchange, they accept to sell their own Deku Flowers before moving to other places, every time enabling Link to reach a Piece of Heart. Template:Trading Quest

Trivia
- The Trading Quests were inspired by the Japanese Buddhist tale, "Straw Millionaire".[3] "Straw Millionaire" is a tale about a poor man who becomes rich through trading various items.
